I still remember, at the 1982 Lisp & Functional Languages Symposium in Pittsburgh, seeing Turner give a demo of Miranda.
A quicksort in 3 lines! With performance data to show it really was n log n complexity!
(Of course, the coefficient in front of that n log n was huge, and thus people still preferred other languages.)
